Definitions

  • the present invention relates to pulse train transmitters, that is to say information transmission systems gradually which find applications in many fields, for example signaling the proximity of vehicles in circulation , in particular for the prevention of chain-collision, fixed surveillance of buildings, transmission of remote-controlled orders such as public lighting, air conditioning, centralized management or traffic assistance, for example, public transport, in view, for example, of passage controls, positioning of traffic lights, etc.
  • a pulse train transmitter such as that described in US Pat. No. 3,646,441 is already known, which comprises a receiver having an input capable of picking up the pulses of a train and an output capable of delivering a function signal. of each pulse captured, a transmitter having a first transmission supply input, a second transmission control input and a transmission output, and means for connecting the output of the receiver to the supply input d emission of the transmitter.
  • the device described in this document comprises a receiver normally in service, a transmitter capable of transmitting a pulse during the duration of the pulse received by the receiver and means timed switching circuits ensuring that this receiver is deactivated for a period greater than the duration of each pulse.
  • the information transmission system gradually includes a series of devices as described above comprising a transmitter and a receiver tuned to the same carrier frequency and means for cutting off the possibility of reception of the receiver as soon as the transmitter is started. Each device can then receive information from another device and retransmit this information to another device that has not received it.
  • This device undoubtedly has the advantage, in particular, of avoiding interference between the various transmission systems and thus makes it possible to transmit a whole series of information without concealing a part of it.
  • the use of such a device can be disturbed, for example by spurious pulses when these have durations greater than the value of the time constant during which the receiver is occulted. Indeed, if the receiver receives a pulse of duration greater than this time constant, at the end of the time constant, the receiver is activated again and then perceives the continuation of the parasitic pulse as a pulse d 'a train that it has to transmit and this, until the end of the emission of this parasitic pulse. Therefore, the transmitter outputs a series of secondary pulses which corresponds to a division into a plurality of pulses of the continuous parasitic pulse. It goes without saying that in a complex transmission system comprising a plurality of devices forming a unit, the emission of such secondary pulses caused by parasitic pulses can completely disrupt the whole transmission of information which will then be erroneous and therefore unusable.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device which makes it possible to overcome the drawbacks of the devices mentioned above.
  • the subject of the present invention is a pulse train transmitter, the duration of each pulse not exceeding a maximum value, comprising a receiver having an input capable of picking up said pulses from a train and an output capable of delivering a signal which is a function of each captured pulse, a transmitter having a first transmission supply input, a second transmission control input and a transmission output, first means for connecting the output of said receiver to the input supply power for said transmitter, characterized in that it further comprises second means capable of delivering, from substantially the moment of reception of a pulse by said receiver, a control signal having a duration slightly greater than the maximum duration said pulses of said train, said second means connecting the output of said receiver to the transmission control input of said transmitter.
  • this represents the block diagram of a pulse train transmitter, the duration of each pulse not exceeding a maximum value, which comprises a receiver 1 having an input 2 capable picking up the pulses of a train and an output 3 capable of delivering a signal which is a function of each captured pulse, a transmitter 4 having a first transmission supply input 5, a second transmission control input 6 and an output 7 of emission, first means 8 for connecting the output 3 of the receiver to the power supply input 5 of emission of the transmitter 4, and second means 9 capable of delivering, starting substantially from the instant of reception of this front edge, a control signal having a duration at least equal to the maximum duration of the train pulses, these second means connecting the output 3 of the receiver to the emission control input 6 of the transmitter 4.
  • the transmitter 4 and the receiver 1 are more particularly intended for reception and transmission by radio waves 10. Also, will they, in known manner, be tuned to the same carrier frequency, both for the demodulation of reception only for modulation of transmission.
  • FIG. 2 represents a more detailed embodiment of the transmitter, the principle of which has been illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the same references therefore denote the same elements, the other references designating constituent elements of the first means 8 and of the second means 9.
  • the first means 8 can be constituted, for example, by a logic processing unit 20 making it possible to develop pulse trains in accordance with the trains which must be transmitted from device to device. So this logical unit of processing 20 includes an output 21 by which it delivers a train of pulses having undergone processing as a function of different pre-programmed or pre-established parameters applied for example to its control input 22. This output 21 is connected, for example by via an "AND" gate 23, at the transmission supply input 5 of the transmitter 4.
  • the means making it possible to control the processing in the logic unit can be constituted by a microprocessor 24 whose output 25 is connected to the control input 22 of the logic unit 20, for example by means of a door " OR "26 of which an input 27 is connected to the output 25 of the microprocessor 24 and whose output 28 is connected to the control input 22 of the logic unit.
  • the second input 41 of the "OR" gate 26 is connected to the output 3 of the receiver 1.
  • a logic unit such as the logic unit 20 generally comprises a synchronization input 29 receiving pulses developed, for example, in a generator 30 capable of delivering to an output 31, a train of reference pulses whose emission is controlled by a so-called “starting" pulse generally received initially by the receiver 1, the output 3 of which is connected by the "OR” gate 26 to its control input 42.
  • This generator 30 can also develop, for example on a second output 32, locally produced information pulses which are then applied to the second input 33 of the "AND" logic gate 23 previously described.
  • the second means 9 capable of delivering at their output 34, starting substantially from the moment of reception of a pulse by the receiver 1, a control signal having a duration at least equal to the maximum duration of the train pulses, can include, for example from their input 35, a monostable rocker circuit 36 making it possible to deliver a signal at its output 37 as soon as at its input 35 is applied the front edge of a signal whose value has a variation in shape noticeably niche with a relatively stiff front flank.
  • this monostable flip-flop circuit delivers at its output 37 a pulse of relatively short duration which is applied to an input 38 of a time constant generator 39 capable of delivering at its output 40 a control signal having a duration which is at least equal, if not slightly greater, to the maximum duration that can have the pulses of the train which must be transmitted step by step by such a transmitter.
  • the output 40 of this time constant generator is connected to the transmission control input 6 of the transmitter 4.
  • the elements of the functional circuit have been knowingly broken down in order to represent them separately from one another in order to bring out the character of the present invention. Certain elements could however be used in their primary or secondary function for several power supplies of elements in order to minimize the production of such circuits, this operating mode being well known in the field of electronics.
  • the logic processing unit 20 has not been described here in detail because it is known in itself.
  • the document cited in the preamble to this Application describes in particular a possible embodiment, although others are known which can be applied within the framework of this Invention. Those skilled in the art will be able, with the elements described in this description and without any difficulty, to realize such a logical unit according to the needs and results which it must obtain for the step by step transmission of pulse trains. .
  • the receiver picks up a parasitic pulse which has a duration greater than the maximum possible delay of the train pulses to be transmitted with a transmitter as described above.
  • This parasitic pulse is represented at 140 in FIG. 3, curve A, with respect to the maximum duration 141 of a pulse from a train to be transmitted.
  • This pulse 140 will be received by the receiver which will deliver at its output 3, FIG. 3, curve b, a pulse 142 which must have the same duration as it.
  • This pulse 142 emitted by the receiver 1 is simultaneously applied to the first 8 and second 9 means ( Figures 1 and 2). It can possibly be processed by the first means 8 if it corresponds to data confirmed by the program, in particular contained in the microprocessor 24.
  • the second means 9 will deliver at their output 34 (FIG. 2) an order signal 143 of a duration slightly greater than the maximum possible duration 141 of an impulse from a train to be transmitted, Figure 3, curve C.
  • This signal 143 is applied to the transmission control input 6 of the transmitter 4, and the end of its transmission prohibits any subsequent transmission of pulse by this transmitter, since the latter is inhibited from the appearance of the rear flank 144 of the transmission control pulse.
  • the transmitter will optionally send a pulse 145. This pulse can be filtered or eliminated, either in the other transmitters of the whole system, or, ultimately, in the central processing unit grouping all the information sent by the different transmitters.
